Hello Manprint. What do you mean by the word "nip" ?

Manprint, thank you for your help. I found that the problem was a small ceramic 500 mA fuse on a pcb control board inside the box under the paper load. Thank you for your time.

Hello my friends. I have a problem with my GTO 52-1 model 1997. I turned on the main red switch this morning and then I pushed the start up button but the machine doesn't start up. I noticed that also the step by step movement doesn't work. Do you have any idea what is happenig ? Thank you in...

Hello Does anyone knows where can I find a SCSI Hard Drive 50 pin loaded with the appropriate files to work with my Agfa Accuset 1200 internal RIP ? Thank you in advance

Hi Krojcer I am sorry. I haven't fix that problem. I understood that it doesn't worth it because it started happening at days that are not too hot like now on Spring. The Polar is very old (80's I think) and it might be better buying a used one either fix it.

Thanks all for your answers. We are a small printing shop with one GTO 52 machine not long runs and small budget. The prepress we need it because as member "wonderings" wrote, everybody wants it yesterday. I thought that it was easier to choose a CTP but as member "BWI" said there are many...

Hello to everyone. I have a CTF system and the Internal Hardware RIP of the Film Imagesetter has some problems. What is better: Buy a software RIP or switch from CTF to CTP ? My other machines (film processor, plate processor and copy frame) are getting older. I also searched the internet and...

Thank you both VladCanada and Kyle for your answers. I didn't mentioned before that the Accuset has an internal hardware rip from another imagesetter, I don't know exactly which, I think Avantra, I'm not sure, in order to be faster (I bought it as it is from another person a few years ago) and...

Hello , I have an Agfa Accuset 1200 with an internal rip and the hard disc broke down. I replaced it with another one (the same model) and it isn't working. When I turn on the machine, it remains at "off line rip booting". Does anyone know what is going wrong ? Thanks in advance.

Hi Buntpapier The machine has programming but i don't know if it has magnetic tapes. I will look for the drawings and I will inform you. I will also check in the meanwhile the carbon brushes and clean the rings. Do you think that might be an electronic problem and not a mechanical clutch problem...

Hello Buntpapier. Yes the clamp is moving but the knife doesn't come down. Thank you for your replay.

Thanks for your reply too dabob, I will look at this clutch assembly. Thanks again.

STSTech thanks for your reply. I will check the Processor's programs. As for the Imagesetter skewing problem I think you are right. I will continue to work like that as much as I can because as you described the service price might be high for a job like that. Thanks again.

Al , thank you first of all for your reply. Yes everything else work. I will check the two other reasons you wrote with a technician of our area because the official service here says that they don't service these old machines any more . Thanks again

Hello to everyone. This is my first post to this site and I wish good health to everyone in the world first of all. I have some problems too like everyone. I have an old Polar 72 Eltromat cutting machine (manufacturing year 1980) and on winter it works okay but in the summer when the...
